I should say my current car- a 2006 Scion xB. It’s the only model of car I’ve owned for 16.5 years now. It’s so good that when I wrecked my black xB, I went out and purchased a silver one exactly like it. But really, I would say the best car I’ve owned was my 1993 Chevy Lumina Z34. Purchased used in 1995, it was the…

Panel 15: One might argue that the Ford Maverick and Honda Ridgeline are the modern embodiment of the car-based pickup truck. Both are based on a CUV chassis and neither has a separate cab & bed.

Better concept, but still not a good idea.

The Terminators were made by Cyberdyne, as Ah-nold said he was a “Cybercyne Systems model 101.”

I came here expecting $kay to have a link to a GoFundMe for the purpose of raising funds to buy this car. Was disappointed.

In December 2015 I bought my current silver 2006 Scion xB after having my previous black 2006 Scion xB totaled in a mild yet incapacitating side-impact collision. At the time, I was not prepared, nor was I of great means, to buy a new car, so I went with something that was immediately familiar. A bonus was that the…

If it’s based on the Yaris platform, this is pretty much what a 3rd-gen xB would be. I don’t hate it.

You take back the hurtful Scion comment! My first-gen xB- which is exactly like the one pictured- is a delight, albeit a slow one, so an EV version would be a welcome pick-me-up. It would make a perfect little city runabout.

The four 1977-90 GM B-bodies I either owned or drove were way ahead of the curve with their lap cooling vents. Bring these back!

It’s not even close. He got a new 1969 Ford Torino Talladega with the 428 Cobra Jet as a college graduation gift. He said it could pass anything but gas stations. Before I was born, he traded it in for a Dodge Dart with a slant 6. Given how & what he’s driven since, it’s hard to imagine him owning such a powerful car.

1977 Chevy Impala, exactly like this example but not nearly as nice. When I bought it, it had already had a 350 from a van swapped in, but the original transmission was reused. Unfortunate, as it wasn’t able to handle the power and I went through 2 of them. I was still living with my parents and I had already bought…

For the first time in as long as I can remember, I gave a car on NPoND a Nice Price. I do have one caveat- only if the timing belt has been replaced. Usually that’s done at 100,000 miles, but seeing as how this car is almost 30 years old, it should probably be done as a preventative measure. Now for the reason for my…

“Sure Wished I Finished Training!”

Counterpoint: I used to drive a cab, and of course, they were all Crown Vics. I’m 6'3" and fit comfortably in it. It even fit 4 21-year-old college girls on their way to a bar to celebrate the redhead’s birthday. Nobody complained, least of all, me. Anyway, I forgot where I was going with this.

Hennessey ZL1 Camaro at full song. Supercharger whine followed by full-throated all-American V8. Rawr!

Since it seems that every state has a problem with Left Lane Loiterers, I won’t mention that for Iowa’s problem, even though it is legion. I’ve come to not even give people an opportunity to merge right- I just immediately pass them on the right. Anyway, the real problem in Iowa is sympathy braking on the interstate-…

Counterpoint: The deep mica blue is gorgeous up close & sparkling in the sunlight, and the caturra brown leather interior is a stunning contrast. I hope I can find a CX-5 Signature in a couple of years with that combo.

I can hear this picture. Johann Strauss II’s Blue Danube Waltz is now playing in my head. Kubrick was a genius filmmaker, not only because of the gorgeous cinematography, but also because he paired his scenes with beautiful pieces of music.

Vertical Class 7 would be the category I would give it.

Native Iowan here. Yeah, that naming is a little unfortunate. Nevertheless, all of those alternative names are a real thing. Some more:
